Painting a green scene

July 10, 2016

Today's challenge was painting a green scene! Out by the pool are a wonderful collection of plants and trees, which is lovely and calming to view. Unfortunately it is a sea of of green. I decided to have a go at painting it as I am normally not patient enough to do lots of foliage. It turned out to be fun and I was quite pleased with the end result. It was delightful just being outside, hearing the birds and watching the butterflies dance around.  The baby birds featured in a previous posting have fledged and gone - no more cheeping!

My latest studio work, commissions, and miscellaneous oddities…

 

I have been plein air painting since 1994 and love the challenge of painting outdoors.  I paint in watercolor and acrylic and love to draw in pen or pencil. I also recently took up needle felting and my blog currently chronicles my journey with this medium.
